Hi all,
For my thesis I want to work on something that will be useful. OpenBSD
is an OS I greatly admire for its integrity in terms of both licensing
and software quality and is a project I want to work on/contribute to.
I have two project ideas and wanted to hear if these sounded like
something useful to the community at large and if there are any project
suggestions that you may have.
* An evaluation of the various data structures used by the kernel to see
if improvements can be made either in terms of security and/or
efficiency. Chris Okasaki's book Purely Functional Data Structures will
be strong source of inspiration.
* A tool to statically analyze OpenBSD catered to OpenBSD coding
conventions. Something along the lines of splint etc.
Thoughts/suggestions are much appreciated.
Best regards,
Adam Britt
